Sounds exciting!!
A few questions:
1. Is this going to be multiple mainlines or will you have a single main connecting the different areas?
2.What is your plan for staging?
3. How many 'Towns' are you planning on having?
1. I am torn between single and double track. On one hand the double track will represent a heavily traveled main line and allow the running of two trains. On the other hand, the Potomac Line is not a huge RR, the single track would make running 2 trains with DCC interesting. I imagine the B&P being about the size of the RF&P which had 2 and 3 track mains.
2. I plan of having a second level below the layout for a significant amount of staging.
3. I'm not sure. I plan on at least 2, one being the combined urban areas of Potomac (Alexandria) and Benning (Washington), the other possibly Balitmore or Phily.
